I can be patient and stern with pets, as well as loving! I've taken care of dogs (20-30) growing up and have had three myself. As long as I know exactly what the dog needs, I am willing to try and make everything comfortable for him/her! More than likely my puppy Luna (female labradoodle) will be coming along for any visits or walks (as well as any boarded pup), please let me know in advance if that is not ideal. I plan to take thirty to forty five minute walks areas where your dog (and mine) can either run with me on a leash or leash-free if possible. Boarded dogs/dog day cares will be able to go outside at least 4 times a day, one of those being longer for running/exercise.
